  1. It's funny and even pleasant how people in the west completely ignore the existence of Pushkin, because fuck that guy and our school curriculum that made 50% of foreign literature to be about him. He's SO obscure outside of ex-USSR, Fiennes family had to self-finance their Onegin adaptation, and Amadeus was marketed as a biopic rather than an adaptation of his Mozart and Salieri play)))

  2.  @LdyVder  No, it's separate genre. Historical fiction is something like Walter Scott's Rob Roy, where the main character and his family are completely fictional, but the events take place around a real uprising, which characters take part in, and they interact with Robert MacGregor himself. Same in, say, Assassin's Creed games, where you drag Cleopatra to Ceasar or storm Bastille as some made-up Assassin... media with fictional characters meeting Da Vinci, Machiavelli, or Churchill, for example, are historical fiction, but are not biopics.

  3. He also refused to use prescribed medicine, which helped. Most movies about people taking pills, like Beautiful Mind or Dallas Buyers Club, are extremely manipulative to be Oscar Bait.

  4. Amadeus is loosely based on Mozart and Salieri, a russian play. Since people outside of former Soviet Union never heard of Pushkin, most are not familiar with that fictional story.

  5. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is historical fiction, but outside of completely fictional main heroes everything else is extremely historically accurate until the ending, of course. And yes, we can judge accuracy of period fiction works, which date all way from Shakespeare and Walter Scott to videogames like Assassin's Creed or Call of Duty, where you get your fictional characters witness and sometimes take part in real historical events.

  6. The funniest thing in Braveheart is that THERE IS NO BRIDGE IN THE BATTLE OF STIRLING BRIDGE!.. xD Also, while it was a few centuries too early for kilts, it was many centuries too late for face paint.

  7. The russian film Mongol from 2007 had some epic fight scenes but was also extremely historically inaccurate, though it at least had the courtesy to hide Asian actors... Note that they didn't even bother to film Mongolia as Mongolian people didn't like Genghis Khan's portrayal so filmed it in Kazakhstan and China instead)))
